Back in June, we invited Ryan Schutter, the creator of the popular GameHeart overlay, to join with the StarCraft development team in creating an official WCS GameHeart overlay. In the short time he was here, Ryan really made a mark. He developed a strong collaborative relationship with the designers, artists, and engineers on the team, and had a clear idea of what he wanted to accomplish with WCS GameHeart. Still, he remained flexible and proactive in learning and improving through feedback.
After his time working with us was up, we realized we didn’t want it to end. Ryan had proven through his community contributions and through his time working with us that he would be a valuable addition to the team. With these things in mind, we’re excited to announce that Ryan has officially joined as a Technical Designer onto our StarCraft II development team.
We’re extremely happy to have Ryan onboard, and so grateful to be bringing on someone with so much passion for this game and its community. Ryan’s work in those areas is bound to continue. Moving forward, you can expect to find Ryan posting on forums, social media, and continuing his work on GameHeart and other arcade projects.
Welcome Ryan!

does this mean blizz might hire me in 2019

Hopefully he will fix his WCS overlay and make it not totally suck.
|
Awesome!!! Best of luck dude, your work is iconic for this scene and much appreciated!
|
Good to see. Especially great to see Blizzard 'creating' a job for him to contribute to SC2. Putting more money into SC2 in new ways. Maybe this is all just a glorified way of announcing that he just got stuck with fixing the relatively infinite list of Bnet bugs, though XD!

Nice, hope he does good work!
|
Thank you, Blizzard, for seeing the community approval and realizing he could do great things for you in-house, too. Congrats Ryan for catching a sweet job.

Wow, this is really good. Maybe Blizzard will hire new mapmakers next ;D

The obvious move. Blizzard has some sense, after all.

I fear his productivity might drop and his talent might disappear now that he's with Blizzard

He's officially lazy and doesn't listen to the community, yes.
